Asian Rice Crisis Due to Imperialist Globalization

“The worsening food crisis is the fault of the neo-liberal policies of imperialist globalization which incessantly oppress the peasants who till the land to feed the world. Asian farmers have long been victims of the liberalization of agriculture, but the current crisis manifested by the escalating price of staples and other commodities and the decrease of food production across Asia and other parts of the world attests to these crimes,” stated Biplab Halim, Chairperson of the Asian Peasant Coalition (APC).
